Rae sees herself as independent, romantic, and unlike everyone else. So when the world thrusts a strange new identity on her, just because she's had a baby, she fights it with every fiber of her being. Until adventure abruptly reappears into her life, leaving her to create a connection with her child, on her own terms.
